Greetings:

The Provost of the College has called a faculty meeting for Tuesday, Nov. 17th, during the original time of our Wine and Cheese Event. Since most of our invited guests would no longer be able to attend, we have moved the date of the Wine and Cheese to Thursday, Nov. 19th. The event will still take place from 4 PM until 6 PM at the Alumnae House.

Many of you have graciously offered to provide dishes and/or assist with the event. We understand that this change in date may alter some of those commitments. In an effort to make the transition as easy as possible, we would like to offer the following guidelines:

-If you will be bringing the same dish that you had originally planned, there is no need to contact the social chairs.

-If you will still be able to volunteer for the same shifts that you had originally planned, there is no need to contact the social chairs.

-If you will no longer be able to provide a dish that you had originally planned, please contact Emily at escook@smith.edu.

-If you will no longer be able to volunteer for the shifts that you had originally planned, please contact Emily at escook@smith.edu.

-If the new date allows you to now bring a dish and/or volunteer your time, please contact Emily at escook@smith.edu.

We appreciate your willingness to be flexible regarding this event. Many faculty have already expressed their thanks for the change, as this is an event that they look forward to every year.

Many regards,
Melanie and Sam

In the fall of 2002, Kathleen Compton Sherrerd ‘54 and John J. F. Sherrerd established a new set of annual prizes to recognize sustained and distinguished teaching records of long-time faculty and to encourage younger faculty whose demonstrated enthusiasm and excellence influences students and colleagues. Please consider which of your professors/colleagues stand out to you as uniquely deserving of this recognition. Nominations for the 2010 prizes are due to the Sherrerd Committee by Tuesday, December 15. Please visit http://www.smith.edu/sherrerd to submit a nomination.

A big event is coming up! The Ada Open House is on Wednesday November 11th. This event happens every year, and we share the day with Mount Holyoke College. This year we have the morning time and I am looking for volunteers. We need volunteers at the following times and locations:

Greeters: We need people to greet prospective students at the Campus Center from 7:45am-9am.

Tours: There will be two Gold Key Tours happening for the open house. One is at 9am and the other at 10am. We are looking for Ada’s to join the tour group in case there are any Ada specific questions.

Walkers: We need people to walk students from the campus center to JMG at 12:45pm. There bus leaves for Mount Holyoke at 1pm.

If you are able to help Please email me directly at srdunn@smith.edu.

Thank you so much for your time and help!
